Accountability from government is important, as well as consequences when government employees fail to meet their legal obligations.
The new administration in the form of the GNU must build a culture of accountability as the auditor general pointed out last week as she reported on the audits of government.
Maluleke’s recommendations for the new administration were clear: build a culture of accountability and consequences. Mavuso points out that the recommendations section of the report is full of good guidance for the new administration on how to do that, from accounting offices to parliamentary oversight.
“It requires a broad approach, from provinces through to parliament, ensuring the effective financial management of our national and provincial government institutions. The AG has once again held the line on accountability and nudged the government in a positive direction to ensure long-term performance and the better utilisation of scarce public resources.
“With momentum growing in structural reforms that are delivering for our economy domestically, we need to leave a lasting impression that South Africa is the place to go, for business as well as tourism and put South Africa back on the map.” “BLSA was pleased to host a council session with Competition Commissioner Doris Tshepe last week to discuss the commission’s work. It was frank and forthcoming. The commission, as Tshepe pointed out, is an implementation body, not one that sets policy directly.”
